COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Amarillo hops cultivated in Yakima Valley, USA form the base for Amber. It gives the flavor a sweet and lemony tint. The reddish and amber-shaded Amber is enjoyed best chilled.

330ml bottle. Looks better than other light Koffs, but that’s the only positive thing to say. Sweetness is unrefined and sits on top of an unexcitig bready canvas. The whole beer is filtered to remove any real depth of character.

Amber, sparkling, average head but nice lace. Malty and notes of fruits in aroma. Medium to full body, smooth and balanced, notes of fruity in flavour.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2004 Flavoured with Amarillo-hommel, interesting amber colour, maybe not for finnish trad. taste, fine smooth fruity aroma, worth of trying...

YUCK! Oversweet and metallic, with a really nasty aftertaste. I don’t taste the claimed lemon in this really skunky lager.
